Book II - Mitgardia: Guild sign-up and Discussion

[Lord Vladivus]

Welcome to the guilds! Pity you chose the wrong one! Cool fig though!

[Spader]

This is Knorl. He is the son of one of the clan leaders. He is very loyal to his clan and will die to protect it.

The story isn't much, I know, but how much do I need?

Welcome to Mitgardia, Noel! In other news, my new freebuild is just about finished. Edited January 28, 2015 by kabel

Welcome to the Guilds! Why anyone would chose the cold, frozen, inhospitable north, when you can hug trees amongst the dandelions in Avalonia, is beyond me, though!

I think the story is a good start, and your sig fig and presentation looks great (Dat base! ) - The real story is told when you start building!

Looking forward to seeing more from you!

Welcome to Mitgardia, Noel

Very cool vignette to show off your character

[Garmadon]

Welcome to the best and coolest guild, Knorl! Nice little build and sigfig!

[MKJoshA]

On the southeastern forests of Mitgardia, bordering the sea.

It's not exactly a city, but as it is my sigfig's base you could add Uridius's Keep to the map

It is located at the end of the first branch of the Adeler on the opposite branch to the one Omurtag (3) is on, i.e., it is basically between Omurtag and Helgestorp, but on the same side of the mountains as Omortag (I hope you understand that! )

@Ecc, I'm certainly looking forward to that Go Mitgardia!

@Mkjosha: if it's not a problem I would like to add my capital Volhaal in Graystar :) I haven't really pinned a place but it's located near the boarder with avalonia :)

On another note: I know I haven't posted much recently with exams and the like but I'm still lurking and have a build nearly finished (some point) so I haven't abandoned my fellow northerners! :)

Is this about right for where you want your cities?

[Spader]

Yep. Exactly where I wanted Skaljarik.

[IenjoyLego89]

That's great MKJoshA :) love the map by the way :)

[Garmadon]

Uridius' Keep is actually a little higher up (on the fork right on top of where you have it), so it would be great if you could adjust that.

Thanks a lot for updating the map anyhow!

So, right alongside Omurtag?

My entry for the CMF challenge is up:

Now I hope to have more freebuild time!

Well yes, just across the river from it (exactly on top of where it is now would be perfect).

[Hoschiebaer]

This is Chirsto - ready to fight for Mitgardia.

Although born in Avalonia he is now ready to follow the Mitgardian gods of war.

[kabel]

Welcome aboard hoschiebaer!

[Spader]

Welcome, Chirsto, to the best faction. BTW, I just finished my first AoM build.

[Gunman]

Welcome to Mitgardia Noel and Christo! (already mentioned - the best guild)

ps: Great Castle there Isaac!

[Slegengr]

Welcome to the coolest guild, Hoschiebaer!

Also, I have posted a freebuild: Unexpected Spring Freezing

[MKJoshA]

New AoM builds!

Sorry for the double post, but here is the updated map:

[Gideon]

Nice map MKJoshA! The dark green numbers are a bit hard to read however, maybe some more contrast would help? (like a lighter color)

Edited February 7, 2015 by Gideon

[Garmadon]

Perfect MKJ, thanks again, it's really nice to have an updated Mitgardian map! Personally I like the dk green numbers, but I have to admit a different color might be easier to read... Still, I would probably keep it myself.

Edited February 7, 2015 by Garmadon

[MKJoshA]

Any other votes on the color? I'm up for changing it if others feel it should be lighter.

[SarahJoy]

Love the new map! Beautiful work.

I agree with Gideon that the green letters on black are pretty hard to read without leaning in and squinting at a monitor. I'd maybe try a black number on a green medallion, swapping the colors (sand green medallion with black text would be even easier to read, even if sand green isn't one of Mitgardia's colors.) You could also have the other set of numbers be black on a yellow medallion, to keep a really Mitgardian feel to things.

Overall, though, really lovely work. Such excellent cartography brings honor to Mitgardia and Historica!

[Mike S]

Looks great! The only thing I would suggest would be to correspond the lettering of the map legend with its symbol in some way. If the numbering is green, perhaps maybe make the legend lettering green as well....either that or put the symbol next to the header of each column.

[Gunman]

Why not continue with number 13 and the same pattern like the old cities?? No need to distinguish them imo.
